s. M. BRYDGES PORTABLE CIGARETTE MAKING MACHINE Filed Feb. 25. 1925 2 Sheets-Sheet 2" construction. The operation of cigarettemaking is similar to that with the Figures 1-5 form.

Turning to Figure 7 it will be seen that the solid form of Figures 1-5 has been retained, but the mounting of the former 9 is somewhat changed, in that the former plate 2O is hinged at 22 near the edge of the cigarette trough 21. The tucker-plate 23 is carried on the former as before. An alternative construction of pin 24 is shown, this being part of a spring member 25 capable of being sprung over the edge of the paper trough 26 as shown. 7hen not in use the whole is enclosed by a flexible wrapping `member 27 which is fastened on to the loop of the spring member 25.

It. has previously been proposed to con struct a pocket cigarette-making device in the form of a bodyhaving a cylindrical trough to receive tobacco on top of a paper laid therein with its side edges projecting, a separate curved former member being provided to eo-operate with said trough and a lip on the curved former member serving to wrap one paper edge around the tobacco in the trough.

Vhat' I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent isc- 1. Pocket cigarette-making machines comprising a body formed with a senii-c vlin drical trough to receive tobacco on top of a paper laid therein with its side edges pro jecting, a curved fornicr plate connected to the body and arranged to lie over said trough, and a tuclrinrr member attached to the itormer plate in such a way that it. can he moved relatively to such plat'c to wrap one paper edge around the tobacco in the trough substantially as described.

2. Pocket cigarette-making machines comprising' a. body i'ormcd with a recess to accommodate a wad of papers by their edge, a, trough adjacent and parallel thereto to rcccive tobacco on top of a paper laid therein from the attached wad, a curved former connected to the bod,v and arranged to lie over said trough, and a curved tucking member slidably mounted on the former so as to tuck the projecting paper edge into the trough, substantially as described.

Dated the 9th day of February, 1925.
